Abstract: The existence of energetic anticyclonic mid-depth vortices of Mediterranean Water (meddies) questions the validity of a conventional advective?diffusive balance in the eastern Atlantic subtropical gyre. A mesoscale experiment ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments with an 11-level primitive equation, finite-difference model in a periodic channel are performed to analyze the properties of unstable finite-amplitude disturbances in an idealized Azores Current. ...

Abstract: Temperture and salinity (T?S) finestructure on vertical scales of 10 db and larger is examined in a 500 by 500 km grid located southeast of the Azores in the North Atlantic. The convergence of several water masses dominated ...

Abstract: The quasigeostrophic response of a continuously stratified ocean to a band-limited white-noise windstress curl is examined in an infinite and semi-infinite ocean. Baroclinic Rossby waves?predominantly of first mode ...

Abstract: The warming Nordic seas potentially tend to decrease the overflow across the Greenland?Iceland?Scotland Ridge (GISR) system. Recent observations by Macrander et al. document a significant drop in the intensity of outflowing ...

Abstract: A densely spaced hydrographic survey of the northern Irminger Basin together with satellite-tracked near-surface drifters confirm the intense mesoscale variability within and above the Denmark Strait overflow. In particular, ...

Abstract: Processes that influence the volume and heat transport across the Greenland?Scotland Ridge system are investigated in a numerical model with ?° horizontal resolution. The focus is on the sensitivity of cross-ridge transports ...
